There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
I’m home. No, I didn’t break even on this trip. But that’s how it goes sometimes. My flight was delayed for 4 hours, bringing me home around 3:30am. Needless to say, I slept most of the day today.

In a few hours I’ll hop on a plane for my last show of the month. Everything is packed, due largely to the fact that I never unpacked from the last two weekends. For the plane, I’ve got GK Chesterton’s Orthodoxy, a book that for some reason has become my travel companion over [...]

Reading the gospels and epistles over the last couple of years has left me with convictions as to how we as Christians are to engage others and carry ourselves as we go through our daily tasks. I find the stronger my convictions, the more keenly aware I am of my shortcomings. I know [...]
